Best Practice: Prevent Substacks from Triggering Main Stack Scripts

[Mark Schonewille]

Hi Brahmanathaswami,

It isn't obligatory to use substacks. You could use two mainstacks 
simultaneously. Just make sure to include the additional mainstacks as 
files when you build a standalone.

With two mainstacks, the scripts in one stack won't be triggered by 
messages from the other. If you have handlers that you want to use in 
both stacks, you can put those handlers into another separate stack and 
use that as a library with the start using command or by defining front 
and back scripts.
